    Theanine May Treat Depression In Humans

    It is a human study, and it used a relatively low dose theanine - only 250mg daily for 8 weeks. Theanine improved virtually all symptoms including actual symptoms of depression, anxiety, and cognitive function. I wonder what would double that dose have achieved given the study I posted about...

    The Darker Side Of Serotonin Finally Exposed - It Increases Anxiety And Suicide

    I guess the fact that such studies are finally starting to come out is a good sign. I don't think this will hurt Prozac sales in any way, but at least now doctors may start to discuss with patients the potential dangers of SSRI, which up until last year were considered to be pure myth. It still...

    SSRI Can Lead To Public Health Disaster

    The article's focus is UK but the same argument applies to pretty much any Western country as the SSRI are a mainstream depression drug in most of the Western world. As you can see, these drugs are often the cause for the exact same problems they are supposed to treat. What's worse, once a...

    Anxiety Leads To Lower Social Status (and Niacinamide Fixes It)

    "Or, in formal terms, “trait anxiety” predisposes individuals to a lower social status and lower performance in competitive social groups. In fact, researchers at the Swiss institute École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have discovered the part of the brain that links anxiety with social...

    Trouble Quitting Cannabis

    Hello, I'm a 45 year old (gasp) mom and my 'mother's little helper' is in the form of a vaporizer and weed which I'm told is organically grown. My usage amount varies but I usually do 2-3 cycles (like 10 puffs) once, sometimes twice, per day. I thought I could keep it under control but my...

    High, Not Low, Serotonin Linked To Social Anxiety

    After decades of prescribing SSRI to treat anxiety, and especially "social" anxiety, evidence is finally being published in bastions of dogma like JAMA that anxiety disorders are likely caused by high levels of serotonin rather than low. This makes the prescription of SSRI one of the worst...

    Social Anxiety Linked To High Serotonin, Not Low

    One by one, the arguments in favor of serotonin boosting for specific conditions are running out of steam. This study shows that people with social anxiety and phobia have too much serotonin, not too little. Also, the more serotonin they had the more anxious they felt. I wonder if the same claim...

    Uridine Monophosphate For Fatty Liver/weight Problems/depression/anxiety/insomnia

    From a Ray Peat view of the organism (humans), it is generally viewed that all degenerative conditions are interrelated in one way or another. As is in my experience, mental and physical problems go hand in hand and rarely ever present singularly. The major themes of my struggles have been...

    Anxiety While Fat-free?
